解决分配问题

本部分举例说明了如何使用 MIP 求解器和 CP-SAT 求解器求解赋值问题。

示例

在该示例中,有五个工作器(编号为 0-4)和四个任务(编号为 0-3)。请注意,与概览中的示例相比,该示例还多了一个工作器。

下表显示了为任务分配工作器的费用。

工作器 任务 0 任务 1 任务 2 任务 3
0 90 80 75 70
1 35 85 55 65
2 125 95 90 95
3 45 110 95 115
4 50 100 90 100

问题在于,每个工作器最多可分配给一个任务,不能有两个工作器执行相同的任务,同时最大限度地降低总费用。 由于工作器数量多于任务数量,因此系统不会为一个工作器分配任务。

MIP 解决方案

以下部分介绍了如何使用 MPSolver 封装容器解决该问题。

导入库

以下代码会导入所需的库。

Python

from ortools.linear_solver import pywraplp

C++

#include <memory>
#include <vector>

#include "ortools/base/logging.h"
#include "ortools/linear_solver/linear_solver.h"

Java

import com.google.ortools.Loader;
import com.google.ortools.linearsolver.MPConstraint;
import com.google.ortools.linearsolver.MPObjective;
import com.google.ortools.linearsolver.MPSolver;
import com.google.ortools.linearsolver.MPVariable;

C#

using System;
using Google.OrTools.LinearSolver;

创建数据

以下代码会创建问题的数据。

Python

costs = [
    [90, 80, 75, 70],
    [35, 85, 55, 65],
    [125, 95, 90, 95],
    [45, 110, 95, 115],
    [50, 100, 90, 100],
]
num_workers = len(costs)
num_tasks = len(costs[0])

C++

const std::vector<std::vector<double>> costs{
    {90, 80, 75, 70},   {35, 85, 55, 65},   {125, 95, 90, 95},
    {45, 110, 95, 115}, {50, 100, 90, 100},
};
const int num_workers = costs.size();
const int num_tasks = costs[0].size();

Java

double[][] costs = {
    {90, 80, 75, 70},
    {35, 85, 55, 65},
    {125, 95, 90, 95},
    {45, 110, 95, 115},
    {50, 100, 90, 100},
};
int numWorkers = costs.length;
int numTasks = costs[0].length;

C#

int[,] costs = {
    { 90, 80, 75, 70 }, { 35, 85, 55, 65 }, { 125, 95, 90, 95 }, { 45, 110, 95, 115 }, { 50, 100, 90, 100 },
};
int numWorkers = costs.GetLength(0);
int numTasks = costs.GetLength(1);

costs 数组对应于将工作器分配给任务的费用(如上所示)。

声明 MIP 求解器

以下代码声明了 MIP 求解器。

Python

# Create the mip solver with the SCIP backend.
solver = pywraplp.Solver.CreateSolver("SCIP")

if not solver:
    return

C++

// Create the mip solver with the SCIP backend.
std::unique_ptr<MPSolver> solver(MPSolver::CreateSolver("SCIP"));
if (!solver) {
  LOG(WARNING) << "SCIP solver unavailable.";
  return;
}

Java

// Create the linear solver with the SCIP backend.
MPSolver solver = MPSolver.createSolver("SCIP");
if (solver == null) {
  System.out.println("Could not create solver SCIP");
  return;
}

C#

Solver solver = Solver.CreateSolver("SCIP");
if (solver is null)
{
    return;
}

创建变量

以下代码会创建问题的二进制整数变量。

Python

# x[i, j] is an array of 0-1 variables, which will be 1
# if worker i is assigned to task j.
x = {}
for i in range(num_workers):
    for j in range(num_tasks):
        x[i, j] = solver.IntVar(0, 1, "")

C++

// x[i][j] is an array of 0-1 variables, which will be 1
// if worker i is assigned to task j.
std::vector<std::vector<const MPVariable*>> x(
    num_workers, std::vector<const MPVariable*>(num_tasks));
for (int i = 0; i < num_workers; ++i) {
  for (int j = 0; j < num_tasks; ++j) {
    x[i][j] = solver->MakeIntVar(0, 1, "");
  }
}

Java

// x[i][j] is an array of 0-1 variables, which will be 1
// if worker i is assigned to task j.
MPVariable[][] x = new MPVariable[numWorkers][numTasks];
for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i) {
  for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j) {
    x[i][j] = solver.makeIntVar(0, 1, "");
  }
}

C#

// x[i, j] is an array of 0-1 variables, which will be 1
// if worker i is assigned to task j.
Variable[,] x = new Variable[numWorkers, numTasks];
for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i)
{
    for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j)
    {
        x[i, j] = solver.MakeIntVar(0, 1, $"worker_{i}_task_{j}");
    }
}

创建限制条件

以下代码会针对此问题创建约束条件。

Python

# Each worker is assigned to at most 1 task.
for i in range(num_workers):
    solver.Add(solver.Sum([x[i, j] for j in range(num_tasks)]) <= 1)

# Each task is assigned to exactly one worker.
for j in range(num_tasks):
    solver.Add(solver.Sum([x[i, j] for i in range(num_workers)]) == 1)

C++

// Each worker is assigned to at most one task.
for (int i = 0; i < num_workers; ++i) {
  LinearExpr worker_sum;
  for (int j = 0; j < num_tasks; ++j) {
    worker_sum += x[i][j];
  }
  solver->MakeRowConstraint(worker_sum <= 1.0);
}
// Each task is assigned to exactly one worker.
for (int j = 0; j < num_tasks; ++j) {
  LinearExpr task_sum;
  for (int i = 0; i < num_workers; ++i) {
    task_sum += x[i][j];
  }
  solver->MakeRowConstraint(task_sum == 1.0);
}

Java

// Each worker is assigned to at most one task.
for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i) {
  MPConstraint constraint = solver.makeConstraint(0, 1, "");
  for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j) {
    constraint.setCoefficient(x[i][j], 1);
  }
}
// Each task is assigned to exactly one worker.
for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j) {
  MPConstraint constraint = solver.makeConstraint(1, 1, "");
  for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i) {
    constraint.setCoefficient(x[i][j], 1);
  }
}

C#

// Each worker is assigned to at most one task.
for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i)
{
    Constraint constraint = solver.MakeConstraint(0, 1, "");
    for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j)
    {
        constraint.SetCoefficient(x[i, j], 1);
    }
}
// Each task is assigned to exactly one worker.
for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j)
{
    Constraint constraint = solver.MakeConstraint(1, 1, "");
    for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i)
    {
        constraint.SetCoefficient(x[i, j], 1);
    }
}

创建目标函数

以下代码会针对问题创建目标函数。

Python

objective_terms = []
for i in range(num_workers):
    for j in range(num_tasks):
        objective_terms.append(costs[i][j] * x[i, j])
solver.Minimize(solver.Sum(objective_terms))

C++

MPObjective* const objective = solver->MutableObjective();
for (int i = 0; i < num_workers; ++i) {
  for (int j = 0; j < num_tasks; ++j) {
    objective->SetCoefficient(x[i][j], costs[i][j]);
  }
}
objective->SetMinimization();

Java

MPObjective objective = solver.objective();
for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i) {
  for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j) {
    objective.setCoefficient(x[i][j], costs[i][j]);
  }
}
objective.setMinimization();

C#

Objective objective = solver.Objective();
for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i)
{
    for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j)
    {
        objective.SetCoefficient(x[i, j], costs[i, j]);
    }
}
objective.SetMinimization();

目标函数的值是求解器赋值 1 的所有变量的总费用。

调用求解器

以下代码会调用求解器。

Python

print(f"Solving with {solver.SolverVersion()}")
status = solver.Solve()

C++

const MPSolver::ResultStatus result_status = solver->Solve();

Java

MPSolver.ResultStatus resultStatus = solver.solve();

C#

Solver.ResultStatus resultStatus = solver.Solve();

以下代码将输出该问题的解决方案。

Python

if status == pywraplp.Solver.OPTIMAL or status == pywraplp.Solver.FEASIBLE:
    print(f"Total cost = {solver.Objective().Value()}\n")
    for i in range(num_workers):
        for j in range(num_tasks):
            # Test if x[i,j] is 1 (with tolerance for floating point arithmetic).
            if x[i, j].solution_value() > 0.5:
                print(f"Worker {i} assigned to task {j}." + f" Cost: {costs[i][j]}")
else:
    print("No solution found.")

C++

// Check that the problem has a feasible solution.
if (result_status != MPSolver::OPTIMAL &&
    result_status != MPSolver::FEASIBLE) {
  LOG(FATAL) << "No solution found.";
}

LOG(INFO) << "Total cost = " << objective->Value() << "\n\n";

for (int i = 0; i < num_workers; ++i) {
  for (int j = 0; j < num_tasks; ++j) {
    // Test if x[i][j] is 0 or 1 (with tolerance for floating point
    // arithmetic).
    if (x[i][j]->solution_value() > 0.5) {
      LOG(INFO) << "Worker " << i << " assigned to task " << j
                << ".  Cost = " << costs[i][j];
    }
  }
}

Java

// Check that the problem has a feasible solution.
if (resultStatus == MPSolver.ResultStatus.OPTIMAL
    || resultStatus == MPSolver.ResultStatus.FEASIBLE) {
  System.out.println("Total cost: " + objective.value() + "\n");
  for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i) {
    for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j) {
      // Test if x[i][j] is 0 or 1 (with tolerance for floating point
      // arithmetic).
      if (x[i][j].solutionValue() > 0.5) {
        System.out.println(
            "Worker " + i + " assigned to task " + j + ".  Cost = " + costs[i][j]);
      }
    }
  }
} else {
  System.err.println("No solution found.");
}

C#

// Check that the problem has a feasible solution.
if (resultStatus == Solver.ResultStatus.OPTIMAL || resultStatus == Solver.ResultStatus.FEASIBLE)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Total cost: {solver.Objective().Value()}\n");
    for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j)
        {
            // Test if x[i, j] is 0 or 1 (with tolerance for floating point
            // arithmetic).
            if (x[i, j].SolutionValue() > 0.5)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Worker {i} assigned to task {j}. Cost: {costs[i, j]}");
            }
        }
    }
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("No solution found.");
}

以下是程序的输出。

Total cost =  265.0

Worker 0 assigned to task 3.  Cost = 70
Worker 1 assigned to task 2.  Cost = 55
Worker 2 assigned to task 1.  Cost = 95
Worker 3 assigned to task 0.  Cost = 45

CP SAT 解决方案

以下部分介绍了如何使用 CP-SAT 求解器求解该题。

导入库

以下代码会导入所需的库。

Python

import io

import pandas as pd

from ortools.sat.python import cp_model

C++

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <vector>

#include "ortools/base/logging.h"
#include "ortools/sat/cp_model.h"
#include "ortools/sat/cp_model.pb.h"
#include "ortools/sat/cp_model_solver.h"

Java

import com.google.ortools.Loader;
import com.google.ortools.sat.CpModel;
import com.google.ortools.sat.CpSolver;
import com.google.ortools.sat.CpSolverStatus;
import com.google.ortools.sat.LinearExpr;
import com.google.ortools.sat.LinearExprBuilder;
import com.google.ortools.sat.Literal;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Google.OrTools.Sat;

声明模型

以下代码用于声明 CP-SAT 模型。

Python

model = cp_model.CpModel()

C++

CpModelBuilder cp_model;

Java

CpModel model = new CpModel();

C#

CpModel model = new CpModel();

创建数据

以下代码用于设置该问题的数据。

Python

  data_str = """
worker  task  cost
    w1    t1    90
    w1    t2    80
    w1    t3    75
    w1    t4    70
    w2    t1    35
    w2    t2    85
    w2    t3    55
    w2    t4    65
    w3    t1   125
    w3    t2    95
    w3    t3    90
    w3    t4    95
    w4    t1    45
    w4    t2   110
    w4    t3    95
    w4    t4   115
    w5    t1    50
    w5    t2   110
    w5    t3    90
    w5    t4   100
"""

  data = pd.read_table(io.StringIO(data_str), sep=r"\s+")

C++

const std::vector<std::vector<int>> costs{
    {90, 80, 75, 70},   {35, 85, 55, 65},   {125, 95, 90, 95},
    {45, 110, 95, 115}, {50, 100, 90, 100},
};
const int num_workers = static_cast<int>(costs.size());
const int num_tasks = static_cast<int>(costs[0].size());

Java

int[][] costs = {
    {90, 80, 75, 70},
    {35, 85, 55, 65},
    {125, 95, 90, 95},
    {45, 110, 95, 115},
    {50, 100, 90, 100},
};
final int numWorkers = costs.length;
final int numTasks = costs[0].length;

final int[] allWorkers = IntStream.range(0, numWorkers).toArray();
final int[] allTasks = IntStream.range(0, numTasks).toArray();

C#

int[,] costs = {
    { 90, 80, 75, 70 }, { 35, 85, 55, 65 }, { 125, 95, 90, 95 }, { 45, 110, 95, 115 }, { 50, 100, 90, 100 },
};
int numWorkers = costs.GetLength(0);
int numTasks = costs.GetLength(1);

costs 数组对应于将工作器分配给任务的费用(如上所示)。

创建变量

以下代码会创建问题的二进制整数变量。

Python

x = model.new_bool_var_series(name="x", index=data.index)

C++

// x[i][j] is an array of Boolean variables. x[i][j] is true
// if worker i is assigned to task j.
std::vector<std::vector<BoolVar>> x(num_workers,
                                    std::vector<BoolVar>(num_tasks));
for (int i = 0; i < num_workers; ++i) {
  for (int j = 0; j < num_tasks; ++j) {
    x[i][j] = cp_model.NewBoolVar();
  }
}

Java

Literal[][] x = new Literal[numWorkers][numTasks];
for (int worker : allWorkers) {
  for (int task : allTasks) {
    x[worker][task] = model.newBoolVar("x[" + worker + "," + task + "]");
  }
}

C#

BoolVar[,] x = new BoolVar[numWorkers, numTasks];
// Variables in a 1-dim array.
for (int worker = 0; worker < numWorkers; ++worker)
{
    for (int task = 0; task < numTasks; ++task)
    {
        x[worker, task] = model.NewBoolVar($"worker_{worker}_task_{task}");
    }
}

创建限制条件

以下代码会针对此问题创建约束条件。

Python

# Each worker is assigned to at most one task.
for unused_name, tasks in data.groupby("worker"):
    model.add_at_most_one(x[tasks.index])

# Each task is assigned to exactly one worker.
for unused_name, workers in data.groupby("task"):
    model.add_exactly_one(x[workers.index])

C++

// Each worker is assigned to at most one task.
for (int i = 0; i < num_workers; ++i) {
  cp_model.AddAtMostOne(x[i]);
}
// Each task is assigned to exactly one worker.
for (int j = 0; j < num_tasks; ++j) {
  std::vector<BoolVar> tasks;
  for (int i = 0; i < num_workers; ++i) {
    tasks.push_back(x[i][j]);
  }
  cp_model.AddExactlyOne(tasks);
}

Java

// Each worker is assigned to at most one task.
for (int worker : allWorkers) {
  List<Literal> tasks = new ArrayList<>();
  for (int task : allTasks) {
    tasks.add(x[worker][task]);
  }
  model.addAtMostOne(tasks);
}

// Each task is assigned to exactly one worker.
for (int task : allTasks) {
  List<Literal> workers = new ArrayList<>();
  for (int worker : allWorkers) {
    workers.add(x[worker][task]);
  }
  model.addExactlyOne(workers);
}

C#

// Each worker is assigned to at most one task.
for (int worker = 0; worker < numWorkers; ++worker)
{
    List<ILiteral> tasks = new List<ILiteral>();
    for (int task = 0; task < numTasks; ++task)
    {
        tasks.Add(x[worker, task]);
    }
    model.AddAtMostOne(tasks);
}

// Each task is assigned to exactly one worker.
for (int task = 0; task < numTasks; ++task)
{
    List<ILiteral> workers = new List<ILiteral>();
    for (int worker = 0; worker < numWorkers; ++worker)
    {
        workers.Add(x[worker, task]);
    }
    model.AddExactlyOne(workers);
}

创建目标函数

以下代码会针对问题创建目标函数。

Python

model.minimize(data.cost.dot(x))

C++

LinearExpr total_cost;
for (int i = 0; i < num_workers; ++i) {
  for (int j = 0; j < num_tasks; ++j) {
    total_cost += x[i][j] * costs[i][j];
  }
}
cp_model.Minimize(total_cost);

Java

LinearExprBuilder obj = LinearExpr.newBuilder();
for (int worker : allWorkers) {
  for (int task : allTasks) {
    obj.addTerm(x[worker][task], costs[worker][task]);
  }
}
model.minimize(obj);

C#

LinearExprBuilder obj = LinearExpr.NewBuilder();
for (int worker = 0; worker < numWorkers; ++worker)
{
    for (int task = 0; task < numTasks; ++task)
    {
        obj.AddTerm((IntVar)x[worker, task], costs[worker, task]);
    }
}
model.Minimize(obj);

目标函数的值是求解器赋值 1 的所有变量的总费用。

调用求解器

以下代码会调用求解器。

Python

solver = cp_model.CpSolver()
status = solver.solve(model)

C++

const CpSolverResponse response = Solve(cp_model.Build());

Java

CpSolver solver = new CpSolver();
CpSolverStatus status = solver.solve(model);

C#

CpSolver solver = new CpSolver();
CpSolverStatus status = solver.Solve(model);
Console.WriteLine($"Solve status: {status}");

以下代码将输出该问题的解决方案。

Python

if status == cp_model.OPTIMAL or status == cp_model.FEASIBLE:
    print(f"Total cost = {solver.objective_value}\n")
    selected = data.loc[solver.boolean_values(x).loc[lambda x: x].index]
    for unused_index, row in selected.iterrows():
        print(f"{row.task} assigned to {row.worker} with a cost of {row.cost}")
elif status == cp_model.INFEASIBLE:
    print("No solution found")
else:
    print("Something is wrong, check the status and the log of the solve")

C++

if (response.status() == CpSolverStatus::INFEASIBLE) {
  LOG(FATAL) << "No solution found.";
}

LOG(INFO) << "Total cost: " << response.objective_value();
LOG(INFO);
for (int i = 0; i < num_workers; ++i) {
  for (int j = 0; j < num_tasks; ++j) {
    if (SolutionBooleanValue(response, x[i][j])) {
      LOG(INFO) << "Task " << i << " assigned to worker " << j
                << ".  Cost: " << costs[i][j];
    }
  }
}

Java

// Check that the problem has a feasible solution.
if (status == CpSolverStatus.OPTIMAL || status == CpSolverStatus.FEASIBLE) {
  System.out.println("Total cost: " + solver.objectiveValue() + "\n");
  for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i) {
    for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j) {
      if (solver.booleanValue(x[i][j])) {
        System.out.println(
            "Worker " + i + " assigned to task " + j + ".  Cost: " + costs[i][j]);
      }
    }
  }
} else {
  System.err.println("No solution found.");
}

C#

// Check that the problem has a feasible solution.
if (status == CpSolverStatus.Optimal || status == CpSolverStatus.Feasible)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Total cost: {solver.ObjectiveValue}\n");
    for (int i = 0; i < numWorkers; ++i)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < numTasks; ++j)
        {
            if (solver.Value(x[i, j]) > 0.5)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Worker {i} assigned to task {j}. Cost: {costs[i, j]}");
            }
        }
    }
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("No solution found.");
}

以下是程序的输出。

Total cost = 265

Worker  0  assigned to task  3   Cost =  70
Worker  1  assigned to task  2   Cost =  55
Worker  2  assigned to task  1   Cost =  95
Worker  3  assigned to task  0   Cost =  45
